SV Academy is an intensive tech sales training provider that offers a 4-week full-time and 8-week part-time online high-growth sales training program. The full-time schedule has a 40-hour-per-week time commitment for the first 4 weeks of training while the part-time schedule requires about 20 hours per week for the first 8 weeks. SV Academy combines hands-on, intensive training with a strong network, career transition support, and career coaching to help job seekers launch meaningful high-growth business careers. During the training phase, learners will attend live classes, complete weekly assignments, improve their interview readiness, and participate in a live employer project. SV Academy focuses on training job seekers in high-growth sales, an approach pioneered by tech companies and now in demand across all industries. This approach is less about schmoozing than traditional sales, and more focused on data, agile processes, user empathy, and strategic problem-solving.

To be eligible for admission, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. The application process involves completing an online application, submitting and passing a written assessment, and a final interview with an admissions director. No prerequisite skills, business experience, or a perfect GPA is needed for enrollment. SV Academy is looking for committed job seekers with strong written and verbal communication abilities who are coachable and eager to start building their business careers and transform their lives.  

After successfully completing the 4-week full-time or 8-week part-time training, a dedicated Career Transition Manager will help program participants navigate the job search process. SV Academy will also match and facilitate warm introductions between job seekers and prospective employers with open roles. After getting hired, SV Academy graduates will receive professional career coaching for the first 6 months, helping them to maneuver the rough spots of beginning a new career and put them on a path toward a promotion.

    Incredible, Transformative Experience

    SV Academy provided me with more than incredible learning, valuable reflection, and authentic camaraderie. Despite graduate degrees and a sales background, I struggled to make any progress entering tech sales. SV Academy facilitated a massive breakthrough. They helped me land an awesome role and, more importantly, find myself. I am beyond grateful.

    SDR Fellowship

    From the moment I entered my first day of SV (almost a year ago), to where I am today, I knew what I was about to embark on was special.

    SV helped take the skills that I already had developed and taught me how to utilize them in the tech space and SDR organization.

    This allowed me to continue developing what I already knew, while embracing new tasks and challenges of growth with full confidence and I have SV to thank for it!

    SDR Fellowship

    SVA provided me with tools and resources that I didn’t even realize I needed.   It was a very intense but very well worth it experience.  I left with a roster of lifelong colleagues, friends, and a fresh new outlook on what I can do, what I’m worth, and what I’m capable of.   SVA prepared me more than any other school, course, and university that I ever attended.  It is a true investment.

    SDR Fellowship

    SV Academy has completely changed my life! Like many others I was skeptical about enrolling, but made the jump after speaking with Marie (now an APM). I was coming from a clinical background as a behavior analyst, and decided to completely change careers. I wanted to find something I could do from anywhere and that would provide a stepping stone to making more money and being in a role where I was happy, successful and looking forward to work!

    SDR Fellowship

    Like most people, I first heard of SV while browsing videos on Youtube. The initial thought was, 4-week 80k that's bull. 
    But I was desperate, so it lured me in. I signed up and my first contact was with Myn A Flesche. She was very informative and was able to answer every & any questions I had asked. Even though Myn had put my mind at ease it wasn't until I met my program manager Kristian, that things really started to take off. 

    The first week was pretty much a "culling of...

    SDR

    A year after graduating college, I was still very confused about what I wanted to do and it’s safe to say I was lost. I stumbled upon the SV Academy ad on YouTube and I decided to give it a try. It changed everything for me! I became part of an amazing interactive community that helped me grow, and less than 2 weeks after graduating, I landed my tech sales job without even having to put in a single application! They did all the work for me and I am extremely grateful to be a part of the ...

    SV Academy is a game changer. I had no idea about the school before clicking on its advertisement, and wow has that action transformed my life! Not only can I afford a decent lifestyle, but I've also learnt skills I will carry with me for life. I love how accessible tutors are to help students with their needs, and the emphasis the program places on emotional intelligence. I think the biggest strength of SV Academy is the community of people you are a part of when you graduate. The acade...
